Nan Yan said: "So, it's the students in these academies who are gathering crowds to make trouble?"
Zhu Feng said: "Yes, but there is one academy that takes the lead."
"What academy?"
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then looked into Nan Yan's eyes, and said with a complicated expression: "Zhujian Academy."
"Bamboo Room—Academy?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly, repeated these words, and her expression gradually became dignified.
There was a brief but strange silence between the two of them.
After a while, Zhu Feng said: "Okay, don't think too much about it. After these things are over, I will deal with them naturally. By the way, do you have anything to eat here? I'm a little hungry."
When Nan Yan heard this, she hurriedly knelt up and looked forward.
"Here, my concubine just finished lunch."
"You ate too early. Ask them to bring some more, and you can eat some more with me."
Nan Yan originally wanted to say that she couldn't eat anymore, but when she turned her head, she saw several deep needle lines between Zhu Feng's brows, so she said, "Yes."
Immediately ordered to go down, and the imperial dining room brought some food.
These days he has been dealing with government affairs in the imperial dining room, Zhu Feng has no appetite, but his appetite has improved a little today, Xilihulu ate two big bowls of rice, half a rabbit, and a plate of vegetables.
Nanyan also ate half a bowl of soup and rice with him.
Zhu Feng said: "It's just that we should eat more, so as not to be weak and unable to walk anywhere."
Nan Yan didn't ask what he meant by "where to go", she just smiled.
"The concubine listens to the emperor."
Zhu Feng nodded, feeling a little tired, so he lay down on the couch and took a nap for a while. When Eunuch Yu came to report and brought up the booklet, he left the cold palace.
Nan Yan walked him all the way to the door before turning around and walking back.
But when Zhu Feng's back disappeared, so did the gentle smile on her face. Ran Xiaoyu looked at her solemn expression, and said softly: "My Lady, what are you thinking?"
"..."
Nan Yan didn't look back as if she didn't hear her words, but Ran Xiaoyu saw her lips slightly opened and closed, as if she was muttering something silently.
When I got closer, I heard her chanting softly: "Zhujian Academy? Zhujian... Zhujian..."

Once spring comes, the weather gets better and better.
After Nan Yan entered the cold palace, she naturally "do nothing", and every few days, the empress would come here with Ming Xin and Xin Ping to see her. After several visits, the two children were very familiar with this place.
Nanyan also took the time to embroider the sachet.
It's just that she hasn't fully figured out what the spices in it are. After smelling them for so long, she has already analyzed several familiar ingredients, but there are still some strange smells, which seem to be not the spices she knows.
Perhaps, exotic spices.
If this is the case, it is a bit strange. First, Empress Chen has never been to a foreign land, so how could she wear such a sachet
As she thought about it, she took half of the spices she had prepared and put it under her nose to smell it, but the smell was indeed not right.
Still have to think of a way.
Just when Nianqiu came in with tea, seeing her like this, she said, "Is the empress's sachet embroidered? Are you going to give it to the emperor?"
Nan Yan glanced at her and only smiled.
Nian Qiu pouted: "But, in the past two months, why has the emperor come less and less frequently?"
She is still the same as an ordinary little palace lady, she is concerned about whether her master is favored or not, although she knows that Nanyan has already lived in the cold palace by herself, and the queen often visits and the emperor stays here from time to time. It's not like she's out of favor, but every time the emperor doesn't come, she's terrified.
Nan Yan only smiled and said, "The emperor is busy recently."
"What are you busy with?"
Nian Qiu said: "What happened in Beiping recently? Haven't the previous things been resolved?"
"..."
Nan Yan didn't speak anymore.
The so-called solution is only temporary.
She knew very well that they used a trick to cover up the murder of Jian's family and the crime of King Ning, but in fact, they lied to the people of the world.
She knew in her heart that this matter was not completely resolved.
If you lie, you have to pay it back.
Just like these days, the increasingly tense situation in the south, as well as the "Zhujian Academy" that led the trouble, is asking them for repayment.
And although she was "doing nothing" in the cold palace, she was actually counting the days.
Zhu Feng had said before that they would go to Jinling after what was done, and he also revealed that they would take themselves with them.
It has been more than two months.
What is Zhu Feng waiting for
Just as she was thinking, Nian Qiu, who was standing beside her, staring at the sachet in her hand, suddenly had eyes lit up: "The emperor is here!"
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, she didn't realize it, how could she know
Nian Qiu said: "The maidservant heard footsteps."
As soon as the voice fell, Nan Yan had already seen the figure outside the door, Nan Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Are your ears so good?"
As she spoke, she stuffed the sachet into her sleeve. As soon as she got up, Zhu Feng had already walked in.
Nan Yan stepped forward and bowed down: "My concubine pays homage to the emperor."
"Get up."
Zhu Feng came over, grabbed her arm with his right hand and helped her up.
And Nanyan saw at a glance that he was holding something like a letter in his left hand, the opening was new, and it was obviously some news that had just arrived.
Nan Yan smiled calmly: "The emperor came too early today."
Although Zhu Feng didn't come so frequently these days, he usually came back around noon, after finishing the government affairs in the morning, and then came back here for lunch, and then took a lunch break;
But before noon today, he came.
Zhu Feng said: "Well, I just received the news, so I have something important to tell you."
Nan Yan looked at him quietly.
Zhu Feng said: "I'm planning to go back to Jinling. We will leave in five days. You, the empress, and concubines above the second rank in the harem, including King Wei and Xinping, will all go together."
"..."
Nan Yan was a little surprised.
Zhu Feng had leaked the word a long time ago, so she knew that he would take herself and the queen with him, so it was understandable, but why did he take the concubines of the second rank and above, as well as King Wei and Xinping
Before, he would not bring so many people.
Nan Yan knew that there must be a reason, so she asked, "Your Majesty, is there any major event in Jinling?"
Zhu Feng handed her the letter in his hand.
Nanyan took it over, unfolded it—
Your Majesty, Du Qianqiu, is hereby entrusted with an order to oversee the construction of the Da Ci'en Temple, to demonstrate your benevolence and filial piety. It took several months, and now it is completed, in order to fulfill the holy vow...
Nan Yan understood immediately before finishing the rest.
She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes: "Da Ci'en Temple?"
